#BlockPartyHopWednesday - Blog It Forward!

It's time for another Block Party Hop!

Last week, we had a very l ow turnout for the Linkedin hop. Unfortunately, 3 links had to be deleted because they were blog links instead of Linkedin links. We really want to encourage participation, but we must ask you to follow the rules. If you make a mistake and put in the wrong link, that's fine. Just please follow up with the correct link! We will keep the correct one and delete the mistake! :)

This week is different. In the past we have been promoting our own links. This week, we will be promoting OTHERS. Please "Blog It Forward" by choosing a blog that you love and enter that blog's link and information into the form. Please feel free to enter more than one! The more, the merrier! :) We especially encourage you to promote a NEW blog to help that blog grow, but it isn't mandatory.

By now, you probably know the drill...

Family-friendly links ONLY.

This week, please link ONLY to a new or favorite blog that you wish to promote (not yours).

You are encouraged to post the button on your blog to help us spread the word. Also, we have a hashtag: #BlockPartyHopWednesday. Don't be afraid to use it! :)

As always, thanks to my sweet friends/co-hosts - Cara of Totally Temberton and Jill of Frugal Plus - for making this great hop possible.

It’s time for another Block Party Hop! Last week, we had a great turnout for the Alexa hop. We hope you lovelies will keep coming back week after week, as we launch a “new” theme. This week, we are featuring Linkedin! By now, you probably know the drill…

Family-friendly links ONLY.

Please link ONLY your Linkedin user URL.

You are encouraged to post the button on your blog to help us spread the word. Also, we have a hashtag: #BlockPartyHopWednesday. Don’t be afraid to use it!

If you aren’t sure how to find your Linkedin URL, this is how I did it. I’m sure there’s a better way, but I didn’t find it. LOL! Go to Linkedin’s home page. If you are logged in, LOG OUT. Then, enter your own name in the search query form. After you search for yourself, your own profile will come up with YOUR link. Grab it and come back here to enter it in the Linky Form. Easy Peasy!

This hop will be moderated: If you link to your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Alexa, etc., it will be deleted. This is for Linkedin ONLY. If you make a mistake, don’t fret. Just add your (appropriate) link again, ‘cuz I’ll be deleting the other one anyway. LOL!

As always, thanks to my lovely co-hosts and friends – Cara of Totally Temberton and Jill of Frugal Plus -for making this great hop possible each week.

She has two beautiful daughters she wanted to showcase with blues and reds.

She is also a photographer and loves nature so the flowers really play into her love of nature.

In order to participate in the Alexa hop, please link to your blog’s main page. Do not link to Twitter, Facebook, a specific post, or anything else. BLOG LINKS ONLY. The hop will be moderated this week. Hop links will not appear until they have been approved by a host! Please review at least two blogs (including your hosts) that appear in the list BEFORE your link. If you are the last to link, don’t worry. The hosts will be doing reviews too. We expect that every participant will receive at least TWO Alexa reviews as a result of this hop. If you cannot commit to doing two, do not link. It is not fair for you to get two reviews, if you aren’t going to do two. Of course, it is always acceptable – and encouraged – for you to do more than two reviews. When you do review a blog, PLEASE let the blogger know!

To review a specific site on Alexa:

(1) Copy the blog link from the hop below and then paste it into the SEARCH BOX at Alexa.
(2) The site’s stats will come up. Click the GET DETAILS button.
(3) The site’s stats will come up again, but this time a bio will be included. Underneath the bio and stats, you’ll see a menu bar. Click on REVIEW.
(4) Leave a review for the site.
(5) Once you’ve reviewed a site, please visit the actual site and leave a comment letting them know you reviewed them as part of the Block Party Hop.
(6) If someone leaves you a comment saying they’ve reviewed your site, please try to be courteous and give them a review in return. The hosts will be doing reviews too, so EVERYONE in the hop should receive at least two reviews.
(7) We understand that there are times when you just won’t “connect” with a site and don’t want to review it. That’s OK. Just review a different site in the hop.
(8) Thanks for participating and have FUN discovering some new blogs
